    I'd be interested to know how many of the records listed for sale are reissues and 1st pressings. This used to cost an exorbitant amount of money. I'd be shocked if a 1st pressing has been sold for £20

      To me this is one of the most beautiful albums ever made.

        A somewhat infruriating LP full of half-formed ideas, the focus group clearly lack focus haha; some of the sounds are sublime tape collage/library/folk but the second a groove starts it ends. Directionless showboating of diversity of influence.

              With Trish ing away, I highly doubt they're going to reissue any of the Broadcast catalog. Keep dreaming.

                It's been more than a year since the last comment, still no sign of a reissue and prices are still going up...Same goes for all the band's back catalogue, it's a shame, really....

                  Couldn't agree more! I love Broadcast and Boards of Canada, but I can't afford over $100 per record fer chrisakes!

                    Frankly, this is a ridiculous situation, why WARP doesn't reissue this LP ? It has been sold at undecent prices on second hand market for the last 2 years, never profiting the label or the artists (at least those still alive...)
                    Is there a brain at WARP ? Because it's the same situation with Bords of Canada LPs... When 4AD saw the ridiculous second hand prices reached by Scott Walker's Drift original 2xLP, they DID a reissue !
                    What is WARP waiting for exactly ?
